Rada Cutlery Granny Heavy Duty Fork – Stainless Steel with Black Steel Resin Handle, 7-3/4 Inches

Most people just grab a fork out of the drawer. That's not a good thing. High heat can damage the surface of your silverware.The "Granny Fork" is perfect for use at the range. It's tines are sharper nd it's design and handle make it just right for cooking. I like it for frying, dropping and retrieving deep fried food in oil, for flipping foods, and testing doneness of everything from hamburgers to potatoes. I have two right next to the stovetop.This is my go-to small gift inclusion with shower and wedding gifts, along with the warningt to use it instead of your new stainless silverware.

After 30+ years of dedicated service, the wooden handle on my granny fork finally gave up the ghost and couldn't find a proper replacement for turning bacon, slicing the small roast/chicken/meatloaf, checking for doneness, beating, mixing, tossing, tasting ....This one is the proper size, with the proper tine design (end tines flare out) and has the comfortable 'hand' of my old one with the added bonus of being truly dishwasher-safe. Since wooden utensils don't 'handle' dishwashers well, I tried to hand-wash my original - have to confess, it went into the dishwasher as often as not which is probably why it didn't last long enough.All things considered, should be good for the next 30 years!

Love this fork and give as bridal shower gifts with the Rada knives. I've had mine 30 years and my mother had hers longer. They never wear out or get dull. I do not put it in the dishwasher. Hand wash, dry and put away. Use in pickle/beet jars; turn meat in fry pan; and hold fruit/vegetables/meat while slicing.

It is a quality made product. You used to be able to find these in the utensil isle at the store, but no longer can find them in stores. Was happy to find one on line that I could order and for it to be so nice.

I'll start off by saying that, if this weren't made in the USA, I wouldn't cut so much slack for the handle. The handle sucks. It is really lightweight, looks pretty cheap, and the brushed aluminum texture just doesn't have a very good feel in your hand. I was convinced to like the fork, though, and am finding that, after getting used to the handle, it isn't so bad.The business end of the granny fork is great. The tines are sharp but not too sharp. The whole thing is nice and sturdy, despite the lightweight feel. Clean up is easy. It is a very versatile and functional addition to the kitchen.I am really pleased with the fork and even more so since it is made in the USA. I would, and do, recommend the brand to friends and family but I just can't give it five stars because the handle isn't a five star handle. The plastic handle might be better. We ordered several pieces in the aluminum, though, and I'm not going to send them all back on the chance that the plastic would feel better. If you're considering getting several utensils from this brand, I'd recommend starting with one to see if you are comfortable with the handles before making a big investment.

I lost the granny fork I'd had for 55 years. I couldn't find one in a store, so I turned to Amazon and had several choices in several price ranges. I'm quite happy with my purchase. My new granny fork has a black plastic handle (instead of wood), which is fine. It does everything I want -- a wonderful tool for scrambling eggs, stirring white sauce cooking in the microwave, etc. How do you cook without a granny fork?! It was made in the USA; I'm trying to be more pro-active about purchasing US products.

My mother had her own granny fork for MANY years. Recently it disappeared. Mom missed it terribly. So I hopped on Amazon and found this one. (She specifically wanted one with THREE tines and under a certain length thank you very much). The price was right so I surprised her and had it sent directly to her. She loves it. I ordered the Aluminum (silver) one. She said it looks great and works just as well as her old one. The old one hasn't reappeared, but it doesn't matter. The new one is perfect.

Nothing like the old fashioned 3-tine Granny fork. It is another one of those useful little kitchen tools. My old one had seen its day and was replaced with this model. It is a little longer than the average dinner fork but shorter than the long carving forks. Just the right size for turning over meat or testing potatoes, stew, etc for tenderness. It is all metal and solid. The dishwasher will cause the aluminum handle to discolor but does not impact the functionality. It is another good value from this company. Enjoy!
